Lady of The lake
Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event
- Workshop
- Beginner
- PIE Action Painting Studio Basel
- 2.5 Hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Misty greens, quiet water, and a forest that feels almost enchanted.
Step into a serene, mystical landscape where a hidden lake rests between mossy rocks and dense foliage. This painting is all about exploring the richness of green — mixing a wide range of tones, from deep forest hues to soft, glowing highlights, to create a scene that feels alive, atmospheric, and full of depth.
We’ll work in multiple layers to slowly build the landscape, giving the forest and water a sense of space and immersion. You’ll learn how to create depth through colour variation, transparency, and texture — letting each layer add to the mood and mystery of the scene.
Using a mix of tools like palette knife, brush, and sponge, we’ll experiment with different techniques to bring the environment to life: textured foliage, soft moss on rocks, and shimmering reflections across the water’s surface.
It’s a process of building, blending, and discovering — where every shade of green adds to a calm, immersive world that feels both real and dreamlike.

Heavy Blossom. Petals in 3D. Spring you can almost touch.
Ever wanted to paint something so lush you feel like you could pluck it off the canvas? This is your moment.
In this semi-guided, textured acrylic session, you’ll create a dreamy cherry blossom branch in soft pink hues, set against a hazy pastel background. With modelling paste, you’ll build thick, velvety petals and a sturdy branch that practically pop out of the painting.
We’ll guide you in mixing tender tones, sculpting with your palette knife, and layering texture so the blossoms feel weighty, rich, and irresistibly touchable.
Perfect for beginners, texture lovers, and anyone who wants to bring a little springtime magic into their space — no matter the season.

Sail-la-Vie: An Impression of Sunset Shenanigans

Sunset? Set Sail.
Somewhere between day and night, colour and calm, there’s a moment where everything just glows. That’s what we’re capturing in this impressionist-inspired painting session — a sailboat drifting into golden hour, two figures silhouetted against a sky that forgot how to be subtle.
But this time, it’s all about how we paint it. Inspired by impressionist techniques, you’ll work with hundreds — even thousands — of small, expressive brushstrokes that come together to form a rich, vibrant whole. Up close, it’s texture, rhythm, and movement; from a distance, it all blends into a luminous, atmospheric scene.
We’ll guide you in building layers, balancing warm and cool tones, and composing a scene that feels both complex and harmonious. It’s a process of patience and intuition — letting each small mark play its role in something much bigger.
No heavy blending, no overworking — just colour, light, and the quiet magic of many small strokes coming together into one glowing, unforgettable piece.

Action Painting
Feel First, Paint Second: A PIE Workshop
- Workshop
- Beginner
- PIE Action Painting Studio Basel
- 2,5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.
In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.
But this experience can be as wild — or as introspective — as you want it to be.
Beyond the action, this workshop also opens the door to intuitive painting: a space to slow down, tune in, and connect with your inner landscape. Through a short but meaningful introduction to colour theory, you’ll explore how thoughts and emotions can be translated into colour, movement, and form.
You’ll experiment with layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques — from bold, expressive gestures to more subtle, intentional strokes. Throwing paint is just one of many possibilities — you choose where to place your focus.
No rules, no pressure — just pure expression, guided by our artists who support your individual approach and meet you where you are.
This is more than fun — it’s liberating. You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with new ways to express yourself, release tension, and tap into your creativity — on and off the canvas.
✨ How PIE Action Painting Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink — and instead of sitting down, you step into it. You’ll get your protective overalls, switch into painting mode, and get ready to let go a little. We start on time, so make sure you’re there and ready to dive in.
Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials and tools — showing you what’s possible, how to move, splash, layer, and play. Nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to experiment.
Then the fun really begins. You’ll explore layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques. The space is yours to explore: move between the splashing area, where you can let loose, and the refining area, where you can slow things down and shape your piece. Throughout the session, your instructor is there to guide you with personal tips and support.
At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — with your finished piece and great vibes.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything*:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Full-body overalls and shoe protection
- A mix of demonstration & individual guidance
* We provide protective overalls, but we highly recommend not wearing your favourite or most expensive clothes, as paint may still seep through. Please also bring a pair of socks that you don’t mind getting paint on or wet.

Seaside In Cornwall

- 2.5 Hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Where the land meets the sea — wild, windswept, and quietly breathtaking.
In this painting session, we travel to the coast of Cornwall: a glowing cyan-blue horizon stretching into the distance, rugged grey rocks shaping the shoreline, and a soft, flower-filled field in the foreground. A winding path leads the eye gently down towards the sea, inviting you into the landscape.
This piece is all about depth and perspective — how to guide the viewer through your painting and create a real sense of space. You’ll explore different ways of building distance: using scale, layering, colour shifts, and atmospheric softness to push elements back or bring them forward.
From the delicate details of the flowers in the foreground to the calm, open horizon, you’ll learn how each part of the composition plays a role in creating balance and movement. Step by step, your landscape will unfold into a scene that feels expansive, immersive, and full of quiet coastal energy.

See beyond the flower — and turn it into pure colour and feeling.
In this oil painting workshop, we zoom in on a red parrot flower, inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s iconic way of transforming flowers into bold, enlarged worlds of colour and form - sensual, expressive, and almost abstract.
The focus of this session is on colour depth and emotional expression. You’ll work with a rich spectrum of red tones, learning how to mix, layer, and refine colour to create vibrant variation and subtle shifts in hue. We’ll also explore blending techniques, soft transitions, and how to smooth edges to create a flowing, almost dreamlike composition.
This is a deeply sensory painting experience — elegant, expressive, and open. While it carries a soft, feminine energy, it is absolutely for everyone. All genders are warmly welcome to create their own interpretation of this iconic, O’Keeffe-inspired floral world.
You’ll leave with a striking, close-up floral masterpiece that feels both powerful and poetic — a study in colour, emotion, and presence.

Sip, swirl, and let it shimmer — this time in oil.
Two cocktails clinking in the glow of summer — olives, cherries, citrus slices, and colours that feel like golden hour captured in glass. In this oil painting session, we take a very similar playful and elegant subject, but explore it through the richness and depth of oils, building luminous layers and soft transitions that bring the scene to life.
You’ll learn how to create transparent effects in glass using oil techniques — how to suggest liquid, reflection, and refraction without over-defining every detail. We’ll also explore how to build that signature shiny, glittering surface of a cocktail glass, where light breaks, bends, and sparkles across curves and edges.
Through layering, blending, and controlled brushwork, you’ll develop soft reflections and subtle colour shifts that make the glasses feel almost tangible. It’s all about capturing that balance between clarity and atmosphere — letting the paint stay fluid, luminous, and alive.
Bright, summery, and effortlessly chic — a glowing cocktail moment, reimagined in oils. 🍸

The bloom is real.
High up in the Umbrian hills, there’s a place where wildflowers don’t just grow — they explode across the land in waves of red, yellow, violet and white. Welcome to Castelluccio di Norcia, home of the Fioritura — a yearly floral phenomenon that turns the landscape into one giant, breathtaking canvas.
In this bold, colorful painting session, we’re capturing the essence of that explosion — the vibrant fields, the soft geometry of the plains, the contrast of nature’s palette with that tiny village on top of it all.
You’ll learn to layer color, add texture, and use contrast to recreate this jaw-dropping view — no experience necessary. Just bring your love of landscape, color, and a little Italian flair.
This isn’t painting flowers in a vase — this is painting a valley in bloom.

Landscapes? More like dreamscapes. Let’s get surreal — in texture.
Ready to take your imagination one step further? In this textured edition of our dreamscapes, we move beyond the flat surface and start building dimension into your world. Using acrylic paint, modelling paste, sponge, and palette knife, you’ll create surreal landscapes that don’t just look deep — they feel deep.
Think shifting skies, floating forms, glowing colours, and layered structures that play with perspective. You’ll learn how to build up surfaces, combine abstract and semi-real elements, and use texture to guide the eye through space — reinforcing depth while keeping that dreamy, intuitive flow.
This isn’t about painting what’s “real” — it’s about constructing what feels real to you, layer by layer.

Fluorescent, fabulous, and floating straight into your heart.
Dive into the deep, dark, and dazzling as we paint one of the ocean’s most mesmerizing creatures: the jellyfish. Ethereal, elegant, and slightly alien, these drifting wonders take center stage in this glowing, one-night-only art session.
You’ll create your own luminous jelly in motion — translucent, flowing, and completely hypnotic. And here’s the twist: we’ll be using fluorescent paint that glows in the dark. Yep. When the lights go out, your jellyfish lights up like it just came back from a rave in the Mariana Trench. 🪼💫
Along the way, you’ll learn how to build your painting in layers — creating depth, movement, and that signature underwater glow. We’ll experiment with palette knife and sponge techniques to form soft gradients, organic textures, and fluid transitions. You’ll also explore opacity and transparency: how some colours cover, others reveal, and how combining both creates that magical, floating effect.
✨ How PIE Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink and settle into your spot at the table where the magic will happen. We start on time, so make sure you`re there and ready to dive in.
Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials — nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to play.
Then the fun really begins. You’ll be guided step by step through the painting process, with plenty of room to play, experiment, and make it your own. Sip your drink, enjoy the moment, and let the creativity flow.
At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — your finished piece, great vibes.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Pre-prepared templates
- Step-by-step guidance from our instructors
All you need to bring is your good vibes and curiosity! We’ll take care of the rest — starting with a complimentary welcome drink 🥂 to spark your creativity.

This bird isn’t just perched — it’s posing.
A bold, textured bird portrait with creamy layers, colour, and character. In this vibrant painting session, we’re giving the great tit a full-on glamour moment: thick, sculpted strokes, glossy feathers you can almost touch, and a background in unapologetic pink.
You’ll work with modelling paste and rich acrylics to build a portrait that’s part painting, part sculpture — playing with light, shadow, and feather detail until your bird is brimming with personality.
It’s tactile, it’s joyful, and it’s a little bit fabulous.
